papercrafts, my stories, and the occasional insight

About me

I’m a wife, mother, daughter and friend. I believe in a loving and merciful God and strive to live my life with love and mercy.

I’ve always loved crafting and have found particular satisfaction in paper crafts. There’s something very satisfying in creating a card you love, but it’s also very satisfying to look at something, decide you really don’t like it, and throw it in the trash – after all, it’s just paper! I find a lot of pleasure in sending a card and having it make someone a little happier…and I find special pleasure in helping others realize that they too can be creative.

Hi Anne-
I just joined stampin’ up on 1/5/10 and I’ve been looking for ideas for my first workshop. I really like your chapstick holder. Do you have the dimensions of the base card and instructions on how to cut the section that holds the chapstick?

I just LOVE the little chapstick holders that you made (January 2010 post). Can you tell me where I could find the template/measurements for that little project. I just ordered “FALL” chapsticks from Avon (check them out…they were only 69 cents, but I think that they are .99 now, still a deal! I saw that they had chapsticks decorated for halloween also, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they have some for Christmas too!)..

I appreciate any feedback on the chapstick holder…and thank you for sharing your wonderful projects 🙂

Thanks for the Christmas card, letter and picture of the family. It is great to read everyone is doing well. We will be in Mexico, Cancun this summer 2011 at the wedding, so we will miss our vacation in Maui next summer. The sunsets are amazing, and we miss being there having left only months ago. We hope you all have a very blessed 2011. Lovely picture of the family.

If you start with my home page (the place you land when you first go to the blog) you’ll see a small box that says “Sign me up!”. It’s at the top of the white space next to the current blog post title. That should do it, but please let me know if it doesn’t work.

Hi Anne,
Just saw that you are in Maui. While I am on the mainland my hubby and I vacation in Maui once a year. We stay in West Maui at the Napili Kai Beach Resort. Could you please keep me in mind when you send out your class schedules. If I am on Maui, I would drive to South Maui for a class. When we come it is usually for a minimum of 17 days. Hope pur next trip will be in Feb. Thanks so much!
